We are thrilled to welcome
many new donors and are thankful for our continuing donors. All of you have now
brought us within $2000 of our $10,000 goal.

A number of you have
shared your thoughts about the gardens at Galer, Boston, and McGraw. We are
truly gratified to know that these gardens mean so much to you.

We want to share two
messages in particular. We think every
donation to PPQA is special. This one stands out not only for its size ($2000),
but because it came out of the blue from a source we weren’t aware still
existed:

“Dear Picture Perfect,

Please find enclosed a donation from
the Big Howe Improvement Project. The steering committee of B-Hip found
itself with a surplus of funds at the end of the community project that was too
small to accomplish more improvements at the Big Howe playground. B-Hip
has been considering how best to use these funds while placing an emphasis on
Queen Anne community projects. Picture Perfect exemplifies the best in
making our community a better place. On behalf of B-Hip we thank you for
all that you do.”

---Big Howe
Improvement Project Steering Committee

This next one stands out because it comes
from John Coney, longtime Queen Anne community activist and advocate who, through the years, has championed
the Queen Anne Avenue Streetscape Master Plan and the creation of the gardens. John recently told us:

“I love supporting PPQA. Every time I
go by the gardens, I can see where my donation is going.”

For those of you contemplating a
donation, now’s the time. Your help can put us over the top.
